Diesel and heating oil are pretty much the same thing - I knew a guy who used to run his diesel car (a Mercedes, IIRC) on heating oil which was a lot cheaper back then.

Most of that price difference was in the taxes levied on diesel for "roads".  Diesel was also better filtered than home heating oil, leaving less particulate matter in the liquid and sparing engine damage.
